The fourth book in the New York Times-bestselling Proof series is a fully sourced 250-page exposé on the January 6 coup plot at the Pentagon—with hundreds of citations, photographs, videos, and more.
I'm dismayed at anyone who would question the value of purchasing this for a mere $5. To me, what you've done is a service to everyone and I know the hours and hours it must have taken to put it together. Trying to unravel all of this information is daunting and your reporting has made it much more understandable. Thank you and please ignore those who believe a $5 paywall is a bad idea especially knowing what is at stake.
Thanks for sharing this valuable information. I knew we were missing the Pentagon's role after the Jan6th hearings but thought we might see them in September.
Thank you, Seth. Thank you for making the book essentially free. I think part of it may be that you wanted to get it out before the Jan. 6 committee, which would "prove" for doubters that you DID actually figure all of this out from the very day of the coup attempt. I remember making two comments at some point during the grand community open source intelligence investigation:
First, I thought you were planning to put all of this into your next book, and second, that I hoped you would remember the thousands of hours that readers put into the OSINT for this project. I didn't expect that you would put the book up for "free" for $5.00. Thank you.
The work that the community here on Proof did in hunting down the information you needed was truly inspiring. I felt so honored to be able to participate in it, and it was such a relief at the time to be actively working on solving this. I felt part of a community of people who felt the way I did, and who loved this country and democracy. Seeing everyone freely putting their particular skills and knowledge into the effort, and the hours they were putting in, helped keep me sane in the combined catastrophe of COVID and the coup/lack of US government action.
Other things came up and I wasn't able to continue to be as involved as I was for the first year, which worried me. But once I saw that you knew, for a FACT, that Jan. 6 investigators were subscribed to Proof and following the work, I felt relief that it was in good hands and I could shift my focus to my local political corruption. That was another citizen OSINT operation on a moments notice, against a crooked local government official who was trying to divert half of our ARPA funds to a ridiculous project led by his partners in crime, who had a string of similar failed projects in other hapless cities. The public had three days notice that the city would be holding an emergency legislative vote (which would be impossible for the citizens to undo) to approve this project. We turned out in force at the meeting with our evidence and stopped it. It turned out to be one of the best things that has happened in our community in a long time. Suddenly everyone woke up to what was going on in our city government and we were able to thwart several unethical projects that would have been detrimental to the city. It galvanized a smaller local group, and we now have a truly inspiring, talented local citizen running for mayor.
When citizens take on corruption, we can win, because we care about our community and fellow citizens rather than our own personal gain, fame, or power.
Kudos to you for beginning and guiding this journey, to everyone who gave hundreds of hours and their skills and talents to the project, and to the Jan 6 federal investigators who took it and ran with it to bring the facts to light for the American people. We all changed history together.
Still waiting to buy an ebook copy as a thank you. I bought the preceding others. This would help complete the collection. Thank you for your thoughtful, hardwork.

This link doesn’t work anymore and I closed the book by mistake. Does anyone know how I can get it back? I was only half way through.
Thank you! This is amazing!
